Motherboard

Good motherboard, not to expensive. Only downside is the brown-ish color.
The "Gigabyte system information viewer" to monitor and control fans doesn't work on my pc so i have to use the "smart fan settings" in the bios.

Case

Bought this case a week before the tg version came out... It is still a great case with a excellent cablemanagement support and good airflow. Only downside is the window that can get schatrched really fast.

The greatest desk!!!! I have the same!! Plus on the clean cables!! How in the hell is your cable management so tight! I just have mine in the tray and it still not that tight. I also drilled holes in my desk. Props to you man!!

The nhl12s comes with 1 slim fan attached with 2 clips, i removed that fan and use the clips for the corsair fan. Really easy to pull of but i'm not sure if you can put two fans on it because of interference between the clips

That's it! I'm tearing apart my Thermaltake P3 and Define R5 builds, and redoing the cable management. I thought I did a good job, but this shows me that I certainly did not. Bravo man. I'm also a big fan of using Velcro over zip ties. +1 and congrats on the feature. Well deserved.

Yo you're like me! I've spent 8 hours strait making sure my cabling was perfect multiple times, too bad the system was trash lol. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/b/kqNQzy the picture with the aio is the latest one before I parted it out.

cable management skills I wish I had, lol... very cool build, just looking at buying the same board and an i3 7100 CPU used to redo my old PC, I already re-did it once... but with kids in the house, I had to put my old system back in service as I barely got use of my i5 8600k build... got a deal on a GTX980Ti so I had a spare 1060 6gb which was of course the only thing I had re-used from this old system, lol

This build looks great! The cable management is amazing as well as the overall look of the case and your setup. I hadn't seen that approach to using the velcro straps in the define C before. By default they span over 2 horizontal loops but this looks so much cleaner.

Super clean build, how is the air flow on that case? I love Fractal cases but they typically have closed front and it worries me that it chokes the system a bit. Especially with fans like those, I wouldn't expect that they would be need over 40% most of the time.

Define C is not the best in terms if airflow and temps on a gpu compared to meshed version. The front filter and panel are quite restrictive. If your bient temp is 20-22, it’ll be OK, but gpu can easily get to high 70s and low 80s if you’re in a warm climate. That’s what I personally don’t like about this otherwise great case to build in. Can be mitigated by gpu undervolting.
